Organizations that need an effective privileged access management solution
About Symantec PAM
Privileged accounts provide elevated and unrestricted access to users and systems and are necessary to perform key activities. Privileged accounts provide elevated and unrestricted access to users and systems and are necessary to perform key activities. Unfortunately, they are also one of the most common attack vectors because, when compromised, they enable hackers to access critical systems, steal sensitive data, and deploy malicious code. Today’s privileged access management technologies must not only enable you to create and enforce controls over users and systems that have elevated or “privileged” entitlements, but with the explosion of virtualized and cloud environments, the attack surface and number and types of privileged accounts have increased exponentially.

IBM Verify Privilege
You trust your privileged users with elevated access to critical systems, data, and functions. However, their advanced entitlements need to be vetted, monitored, and analyzed to protect your resources from cybersecurity threats and credential abuse. Research has found as much as 40% of insider cyberattacks involved privileged users. IBM Verify Privilege products, powered by Delinea, enable zero trust strategies to help minimize risk to the enterprise. Discover, control, manage, and protect privileged accounts across endpoints and hybrid multi-cloud environments. Discover unknown accounts. Reset passwords automatically. Monitor anomalous activity. Manage, protect, and audit privileged accounts across their lifecycles. Identify devices, servers, and other endpoints with administrative privileges to enforce least-privilege security, control application rights, and reduce impact on support teams.

Britive
Permanent elevated privileges leave you open to increased data loss & account damage due to insider threats & hackers 24/7. Temporarily granting & expiring Just In Time Privileges with Britive instead minimizes the potential blast radius of your privileged human and machine identities. Maintain zero standing privileges (ZSP) across your cloud services, without the hassle of building a DIY cloud PAM solution. Hardcoded API keys and credentials, typically with elevated privileges, are sitting targets for exploits, and there are 20x more machine IDs using them than there are human users. Granting & revoking Just-in-Time (JIT) secrets with Britive can significantly reduce your credential exposure. Eliminate static secrets & maintain zero standing privileges (ZSP) for machine IDs. Most cloud accounts become over-privileged over time. Contractors & employees often maintain access after they leave.

Iraje Privileged Access Manager
Privileged accounts exist everywhere. There are many types of privileged accounts and they can exist on-premises and in the cloud. They differ from other accounts as they have rights for read, write, alter, and modify. Privileged Access Management (PAM) refers to systems that secure, control, manage and monitor the accounts of users who have elevated permissions to critical, corporate assets. Anyone inside an organization with superuser privileges has the potential to crash your enterprise systems, destroy data, delete or create accounts and change passwords and cause havoc, either through carelessness, incompetence or perhaps through malicious intent. The trouble is that accounts with superuser privileges, Including shared accounts, are necessary. One cannot run enterprise IT systems without granting some people the privileges to do system-level tasks.
